So I thought I could do a post about Emilia (My Suicide Squad OC) just in case lol. Like a character bio. Will add some stuff about her relationship with Abner at the end lolol.
GENERAL INFORMATION AND BACKSTORY
Her full name is Emilia Diaz. Her villain name is Cyberwick. She's a demolitions expert that can make bombs out of common objects. She's the daughter of a weapons engineer (her mom) and a marine (her dad). She was born in the US but was taught both english and spanish. When she was 6 her dad left her mom, which caused her to start using Emilia to replace him, trying to make her like him and also putting her on the receiving end of her endless yelling fits every time she was stressed, like she would do with her dad. She decided to make Emilia a cyborg to make her a supersoldier, sending her on dangerous missions from a young age and making her train until she would pass out from exhaustion. Emilia killed her mom when she was 19 and ran away to become a villain. After some time she was arrested, and eventually joined Task Force.
PERSONALITY
Her personality is reckless and mostly apathetic. Though she can be melodramatic about things that matter way less than things that don't get a reaction out of her. Outside of her knowledge on explosives, she's pretty dim-witted, being someone who doesn't put much thought into things. She has a very passive view of life, letting things happen as she believes things will turn out how they have to turn out. She doesn't really take action unless she absolutely has to, or has something to gain from it.
Her way of thinking is very simplistic, and she's a very direct person. She almost always speaks her mind and she would never manipulate anyone. She doesn't overthink much either. She also prioritizes her happiness and/or having fun over any responsibilities.
Her morals are not the best, as she will do anything she wants as long as she can get away with it. The only thing that will deter her from doing something bad is if she knows there will be consequences that outweight the rewards. She also has no objections against resorting to violence, as it is her preferred way of dealing with most things.
She's not a very social person as she is very self-isolating, but she is very codependent. Which means she won't approach people willingly but once she likes someone she won't leave them alone. She's also very protective of those she cares about.
She avoids talking about her past and her mom as much as possible. She believes that it doesn't affect her as long as she doesn't think about it. She also can't remember most of what happened in her childhood, at least not clearly. But she will crack jokes about the few things she does remember.
She tends to feel hate and disgust towards anyone she considers similar to her mom. Which is why she has a deep hatred for Amanda Waller, after being sent on countless suicide missions by her. She's not stupid though, so she tries to stay on her good side.
She also likes to mess with people when possible. If she has the opportunity to make someone annoyed or scared she will. She's just a lil shit.
GOALS AND FEARS
If you asked me what Emilia wants the most, it's to get her original body back. But since she knows that's impossible, her biggest wish is to make the most out of the life she already has. If she's going to be a villain, she's going to be a successful one and have fun doing it. She dreams of having a "big underground villain lair with robot minions and a bunch of screens" (her words, not mine).
Her biggest fear is becoming like her mom. Not in the sense that she hurts people, but in the sense that she doesn't want to become psychologically abusive to anyone she cares about. She doesn't want to cause them anxiety by having them walk on eggshells around her or having to guess what she's thinking. This is why she makes a big deal out of having good communication and being direct. Being compared to her mom causes her a lot of distress and anxiety.
And at times when her mental state is at its lowest she will experience fear of the dark. Which is why she will sometimes sleep with a night light (Ex. Her glowy boyfriend).
SKILLS AND CYBERNETICS
Now for the fun stuff. Her abilities in combat. All 4 of her limbs are robotic, which means she's physically stronger than she would be without them. The limbs are not of good quality though. So while they can throw a good punch or carry heavy things, it's very easy for them to break during a fight. She will often be missing a hand or a leg after a mission.
Despite her enhanced strength, her lack of defense stops her from being a skilled fighter. So her specialty is making explosives, often used to help the team get through obstacles or take out a lot of enemies quickly. She seems to have a love for explosions, looking happy or excited every time she gets to cause one. This is because (even if she's not aware of it) it makes her feel in control for once. After being a soldier her entire childhood, getting to cause chaos and destruction because she wants to feels liberating and cathartic for her.
If she were to have to defend herself in a fight however, that usually wouldn't end well, as she's more apt for getting out of situations than to actually solve them. She's not one to win fights often, so she avoids physical confrontations. She has described herself as a "slippery weasel" that's only survived this long because the grim reaper hasn't been able to get a hold of her yet.
Other than her 4 mechanical limbs, she has more cybernetic parts. Her left eye and most of her internal organs were replaced as well. She can't blink with her left eye because of nerve damage caused by the surgery. Her eye being replaced wasn't part of her mom's plan, but she lost it in an accident. When asked about it she says she lost it during a mission or training, but it's actually the product of her mom throwing an ash tray at her during a fight, hence the scar in her eyebrow.
THE FUNNY DOT MAN
And last but not least, her relationship with Abner. Depending on what I'm writing, they meet in different circumstances. But for the sake of this post let's go with the one where they meet in Task Force X.
Abner and Emilia met during a mission and despite both of them being pretty much adamantly antisocial, they started to get along and realized how much they had in common. Being able to relate to eachother's struggles was cathartic in a way, as they finally felt understood by someone. After they started dating, Emilia would always be trying to protect Abner from danger, afraid that he'd get hurt. And he doesn't mind. It makes him feel loved.
Both of them have pretty good communication, which they really value. They also help eachother through their issues, and take care of the other when they need it. Their biggest problem as a couple however would be that they constantly enable eachother's unhealthy habits, especially those that are harmful to other people. Such as using violence as a way to cope with anger, or doing bad things to feel like they have control over their lives. They are also very possessive of the other. But other than that, they have a pretty wholesome relationship where they make sure they don't hurt the other. And if they do, they're quick to talk it out and try to fix their mistake so it doesn't happen again.

-She's a very sleepy person and rarely has insomnia (As opposed to her dear husband).
